Mastering the Appendicular Skeleton: A Quiz on Human Bones

The clavicle is commonly referred to as the collarbone due to its shape and position in the body.

The femur, also known as the thigh bone, is the longest and strongest bone in the human body. It plays a key role in the body's ability to support weight and move efficiently.

The fibula is the smaller of the two bones in the lower leg, located next to the larger tibia bone. The femur is the thigh bone, the radius is one of the two bones in the forearm, and the humerus is the upper arm bone.

The correct medical term for the kneecap is patella. The femur, tibia, and fibula are bones in the leg, but do not refer to the kneecap specifically.

The correct answer is Pubis. The pubis, along with the ilium and ischium, forms the three bones that fuse together to create the pelvis.

The radius is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on its edge. It is half of the diameter, which is the distance across the circle passing through the center. The circumference is the distance around the outside of the circle, while the area is the space enclosed within the circle.

The sacrum is located at the base of the spine and consists of five fused vertebrae. It connects the spine to the hip bones and plays a key role in weight-bearing and stability. The coccyx is a small bone at the base of the spine, commonly referred to as the tailbone. The femur is the thigh bone, while the clavicle is the collarbone.

The correct medical term for the shoulder blade is scapula. The femur, sternum, and tibia are bones in other parts of the body.

The sternum is commonly known as the breastbone and is an essential part of the human skeletal system, serving as the central support for the ribcage. While the scapula is the shoulder blade, the tibia and femur are bones in the lower extremities of the body.

The ulna is one of the two bones of the forearm, located on the side opposite to the thumb. When people hit their 'funny bone,' they are actually hitting the ulnar nerve that runs close to the bone, causing a tingling sensation.

The correct answer is 'Humerus' as the funny bone is a popular term used for the ulnar nerve that runs along the humerus bone in the upper arm. The other options (Femur, Radius, Tibia) are different bones in the body and not associated with the funny bone phenomenon.

The correct term for the upper part of the hip bone is the ilium. The femur is the thigh bone, the tibia is the shin bone, and the patella is the kneecap.

The tibia, also known as the shinbone, is the second largest bone in the human body after the femur. It is located in the lower leg and plays a crucial role in supporting the body's weight and movement.
